Janelle Monáe has announced her new album.
The follow-up to 2018's 'Dirty Computer' is called 'The Age Of Pleasure' and will arrive on June 9 via Wondaland Arts Society/Atlantic Records.
Alongside the news, the singer and musician has shared the reggae-infused track Lipstick Lover, which comes with a retro NSFW video co-directed by Monáe and Alan Ferguson. She said:
"As we enter into 'The Age Of Pleasure', Lipstick Lover is our freeassmothafucka anthem inspired by f.a.m. for f.a.m. This is our oasis made with love, rooted in self-acceptance, throbbing in self-discovery, and signed with cherry red kisses from me to you."
The record will also feature the 37-year-old's February single, Float featuring Seun Kuti and Egypt 80.
Monáe will headline Dublin's Live At The Iveagh Gardens in July, before an appearance at Madrid's Mad Cool Festival.
